Post Molar Pregnancy Success Story!

Hi everyone! I gave out my email not long ago so anyone who was going threw a Molar pregnancy could contact me of they needed to talk. Iv gotten several emails lately so I decided to make a post :) In 08/2010, my husband came home from his 3rd deployment and I got pregnant for the first time immediately. Anyways needless to say my husband and I were ecstatic! But on 10/2/2010 I started spotting. I went straight to the ER, and they did an ultrasound but told me I was too early to see anything. That was a Friday night, and I had to wait till the next Monday to go into my Doc Office for them to check. I should have been 6 weeks. They told me then that there was a sac but no baby. But to be on the safe said they had me do blood work every day that week to see if my HCG numbers were going up. They went up all week but not like they should have. So we did another ultrasound that Friday and they said there want even a sac left, my body was getting ready to miscarry.

So we did another ultrasound that Friday and they said there want even a sac left, my body was getting ready to miscarry.

So they told me If I didn't miscarry over that weekend then to come back the next Monday and we would talk about my options. Well nothing happened that weekend so they prescribed me the pill to make me miscarry. Well while my husband and I were at the store picking up my Meds, I started miscarrying right then. All of the sudden I got a horrible stabbing pain and my pants were immediately soaked in blood. I called my doc and she said to go home and let my body do its thing. So that's what I did. At first It was just like a really bad period, but then got pretty intense. All of my pain was in my hip and thighs. For hours, my only relief was the shower! I'd stand in there till the water went cold, wait a while and get right back in it. Nothing else helped. After about 7 hours of this I finally passed everything. Or so I thought. About a week later I woke up one morning and by the time I got to the bathroom from our bed, blood was down to my feet. So my doc said to go straight to the ER. So after hours in the ER, they finally said I didn't pass everything and I needed a D&C. They kept me over night, and first thing the next morning I had my D&C. A few days later my doc called and wanted me to come in to see her. I knew it had to be bad.... And that's when she told us I had a Complete Molar Pregnancy. When she explained what this was I really didn't understand. When I asked when we could try again, she said we have to wait for at least 6 months..... When she said that, it felt like I was punched in the face!!! She might as well had said 5 years. And so began the 6 months of blood work and waiting. Thankfully my numbers came down really fast and I had no complications.

But those were by far the hardest and longest 6 months of my life. If it weren't for my amazing husband, I don't think I would have made it! Of course everyone I knew got pregnant on those 6 months! And my druggy cousin got pregnant too. To say I was depressed and miserable is an understatement. I took it pretty hard. And February 2011 I found out I have Hypothyroidism. Well we finally got the go ahead to start trying in May 2011, the month I would have been due with the one I lost. I went and got a tattoo in remembrance of the journey I had endured. It says "A Beautiful Tragedy". Just my way of saying everything happens for a reason. 2011! I did go in immediately to start blood work to make sure it wasn't another Molar and at 6 weeks I had my first ultrasound. And at that ultrasound we found out that we had a perfectly healthy baby growing in there! on March 18, 2012 (my moms birthday) I had the most perfect baby girl :) she is now almost 8 months old. She it so perfect and healthy :) I just wanted u ladies to know that I understand the heartache of this horrible journey u are going threw and I want y'all to know there is hope!!!! The BEST thing anyone ever did for me during those horrible 6 months was tell me she was on baby number 3 after a Molar! Some random lady who was also getting some blood work, with a huge Pregnant belly, telling me her situation (which was a lot worse then mine) had been my saving grace. To see a real person who had made it to the other side of this devastation and had 3 healthy kids..... Like I said, the BEST thing that ever helped me. I pray every day that u ladies get her happily ever after like I did! Wish y'all all the very best!!

thank you for your post. I know the pain so well, as I am going through this whole thing right now. I have a 3 year old daughter but had my first miscarriage in June, got pregnant again and lost the baby at 10 weeks. had a d and c and was told I had a partial molar pregnancy. I am currently waiting for the test results of my blood work to see where my numbers are so hopefully there are no further complications! I appreciate you sharing your story, it gives me hope that we can have a healthy pregnancy and baby after all of this!

Yes thank you so much for your post. It has shed some light on this whole scary process and gives us hope! Wayneu i am also just starying this process. I had my d and c on nov 7 and still waiting for the pathology reports. I get my first blood drawn on wed. My drs have already told me that this has nothing to do with future pregnancies but rather a fluke that has happened this time around so i am hopeful. Its just the waiting game now, how are you holding up with it?

I am so sorry you are going through this too! This is the hardest thing I've ever been through! I have been very up and down. I really only have my husband for support because my family is still very focused on my sister who is due the same day I was :/. its made this process a lot harder on me with the constant reminder and lack of support from them. but.... luckily my husband has been so amazing! I just got my first blood work yesterday and now have to go back Thursday. I certainly have my bad days still but I am trying to remain positive and kind of move on. but its so hard because this just feels like it hangs over my head and evryone around me is getting pregnant. Ugh. I just don't know sometimes! how about you?

Coty, thx for posting this! Did you have to get a 0 HCG, wait 1 month, then start the 6 months of testing? I am going through this now and I want to make sure my doc has it right. The waiting is so terribly hard!! :(

Oh wayneau that must be so hard for you! Luckily no one close to me is pregnant as of yet or this process would be even harder. Had to deactivate my FB for a while as the pics of pregnant people was blowing up my newsfeed, i need to just focus on me. Keep your head up, our time will come! Im the same way, i have ups and downs. This morning i balled my eyes out and now im ok, guess it will be like this for a while. I get my first blood draw post d and c tomorrow and im so nervous. Still waiting for report, they dont know if its a complete or partial. Im so devastated and not looking forward to this road ahead. If you need someone to talk to you can always email me, i would love to talk to someone who is going through the same thing seeing as noone understands and ever heard of it! My email is angelcutie1021@aol.com, keeping you in my thoughts!!

From what ive been researching is u get blood drawn every week (which i will be starting tom) once your levels hit zero they test u three more weeks in a row to make sure they stay at zero, then will do monthly blood tests to make sure they are still zero. I heard if 3 monthly blood tests show zero then it would be ok to try but not sure exactly! That seems to be what a lot of people have done on posts i read, but check with your dr. So sorry you are going through this as well :( its such a lonely and scary process, im hear to talk ! Talking with people who are going through it too makes it not seem as lonely :/
